Shake the can of coconut milk to make sure that it the fat and milk are well mixed. Then open it and add it to the mixture and mix well again
Making the Caramel
Place sugar in a pot on low medium/low heat.
Mix sugar until it melts and becomes a caramel color. (keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn)
Add the caramel quickly into the mold that you will be baking your flan in. The caramel is very hot! Be careful not to get burned. Use oven mitts.
Once the caramel hardens, add the flan mix into your mold.
Baking
This next step is called "un band de Maria"
Add 1 to 2 cups of water into your larger baking dish (enough to cover half way up)
Place baking dish in the oven.
Using oven mitts, place the mold with your flan into the one with the water.
Bake for 55 minutes at 350 degrees.
Carefully remove the flan from the oven and let it cool for approximately 30 minutes.
Place flan in the fridge to chill for at least 5 hours.
Serving
Once the flan is chilled, run a knife around all the sides of the flan.
Take a plate, place it on top of the flan and flip. Let the caramel pour over the top of the flan.
The flan should flip on to the plate.
Enjoy your delicious flan!

Notes
Tip: If your flan is not flipping on to the plate, place the bottom of the mold in hot water for a few minutes. This will loosen the caramel that might be hardened on the bottom.Tip: Do not over bake your flan! It's a custard, it will become slightly firmer in the fridge.
